So, it seems everyone is talking about the Seahawks game last night, and the blown call at the end of the game. I'm not a football fan, but it looks like the officials blew it. They just plain BLEW IT. 'nuff said, that's all I'm going to say.

I wanted to say a few words about service dogs today. If you know someone who has a service dog, or if you have one... give that dog a hug sometime. Those dogs go through a lot of training, and so do their handlers/trainers. My wife is on her third. The first one, Bailey, went blind in one eye, and wasn't able to keep working. T.J. wasn't suitable for service work. This happens sometimes, for various reasons.

Azure, on the other hand, is about 17 months old, and is really doing well. He's been on an airplane already, been to hockey games, and all over town. The trick is to start them early, and that really pays off. If you are in the Portland area and want more information, I can connect you with All is Pawsible Service Dog School. I work with the program director, and can pass along contact info.

Keep on truckin'!
